The comparison between 'Brüno' and 'Borat' seems inevitable and even
though 'Borat' tackles some relevant issues and constantly maintains
its sense of very crude, offensive, outlandish and macabre humour
'Brüno' does the same but it's more toned down when compared to
'Borat'. Yet, even though the vulgarity is less in frequency when
compared to 'Borat' at its crudest, 'Brüno' tops the aforementioned
(hint: a swinging penis that talks). Needless to say, the comedic
sequences are over the top (which is to be expected in a movie lead by
Sacha Baron Cohen) but I found most of it hilarious, even overall
funnier than 'Borat'. At the same time the film touches on some
relevant issues for example when Brüno visits the gay converters or
when he has parents audition for him to take a photograph with his kid.
The movie makes fun of them but it also makes viewers aware of the
existence of such people. The execution is well done. Even the score is
ticklish at times. Overall, it's a hilarious little film but definitely
not everyone's cup of coffee.
